DescriptionCVE.org

A use-after-free issue was addressed with improved memory management. This issue is fixed in Safari 26.5.2, iOS 26.5.2 and iPadOS 26.5.2, macOS Tahoe 26.5.2. Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to an unexpected process crash.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The target must load attacker-controlled web content in an affected WebKit-based browser - specifically any version of Safari, or any iOS/iPadOS browser (Apple's platform policy mandates WebKit for all browsers on those platforms) prior to version 26.5.2. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (Medium) is well-calibrated for the confirmed impact: AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H reflects broad network reachability with no authentication barrier, low attack complexity, but mandatory user interaction and availability-only impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a web page containing HTML, JavaScript, or media content engineered to trigger a specific use-after-free condition in WebKit's memory management. A victim using an unpatched Safari on macOS, or any browser on iOS or iPadOS (all of which are required to use WebKit), is socially engineered or redirected to this page, causing the browser process to crash immediately upon parsing the malicious content. …
Remediation Vendor-released patches are available: update to Safari 26.5.2, iOS 26.5.2, iPadOS 26.5.2, or macOS Tahoe 26.5.2. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
